E- I took it once with a slight hangover. Made a 28 and don't know how I did it. Got nothing, but that was a long time ago. I would get a full ride at UAT and a laptop today. I think the test was easier 25 years ago.

Hoop. If Tiger put on silk pajama's like Hefner, and told everyone what he was going to do, no one would care. He cultivated the opposite image, one he couldn't live up to (most of us can't) and he's paying the price. None of my business really, but I was never a big fan.

I play PF he plays PG/combo guard, it will be interesting though because I used to be on the same AAU team as him and so were 3 other players on our team but he got pissed at our team and left because the coach screwed him over...so we shall see

ingram may turn out to be worthy of their company, but bo, herschel and alexander are the three best rbs i have seen in the sec since 1980. ingram is already clearly in that second group of great backs but has not approached legend status yet. if he sticks around two more years and avoids injury, he could be up there with absolute greats. something tells me richardson and the passing game are going to eat into his stats some next year.

Norm, my guess is that a lot will depend upon how Rollison reacts to this suspension. If you look at what happened with Eric Smith, I think his suspension taught him a lesson. If Rollison grows from this he should still have a good shot. It is possible he will be better off in the long run because of this. It could be a nip it in the bud deal.

I will be looking for my ticket THT and really looking forward to meeting all the Hotties.Some one said that Tyrik apologized on his FB and said he would atone for what he did. I hope this is right. I would love to jump on the Rollison Express but will wait and see.

It is easy to forget these players are kids and teaching is a big part of these coaches jobs. Because Rollison got in trouble once isn't something to panic over. Yea, I do think it hurts his chances at being the starter, but the coaches will do what is best for the team.

I once drove I-10 from Phoenix to Mobile by myself. I started with sandstorms through AZ and NM, moved to an ice storm across TX, then finished with blinding rain from Lake Charles to Mobile (then a bonus 3 hours of the same rain on I-65 up to Prattville). That was one of the worst road trips ever.

Flying out of Ft. Lauderdale pre 9/11. I thought I was going to get by without someone sitting next to me because the seat beside me was empty. I always sit on the aisle seat if I can....They were about to close the door and you hear "STOOOOOPPPP" from up the ramp. I see this woman coming on the plane with this huge palm tree thing... The guys on the next aisle start laughing like crazy because the seat beside me is the ONLY seat left on the plane. I leaned into the isle for the entire flight.

K.C. and the Sunshine band were also on the flight...Naturally I hummed their songs rather loudly while in line behind them waiting to board.

FSJ - I think I can top your flight story. If not top it, at least match it. My hot wife and I once stayed at a hotel in Philly on a floor directly below the floor where the performance group "Stomp" was staying. That's a noisy group of people no matter what time is on the clock.

FSJ, I had a similar experience on a flight. I was on the back row of a plane. There were three seats in the row. I was next to the window. There was a big guy on the isle. At the last moment this huge woman came plodding back. I swear, I could hear her coming way before I saw her. I spent the flight with the side of my head up against the window. Fortunately it was a relatively short flight from Nashville to Raleigh. I don't think I could have took much more.

In the last several months between ATL and LAX, I've shared flights with; Dr. J (got to meet him at baggage claim), Al Sharpton, Ludacris, Darryl Hannah, some chick who said she used to be on Walker, Texas Ranger (anyone other than Chuck Norris could tell me that and I'd likely accept it as truth) and some band who were imminently forgettable to me since I'm not a fan.

Essentially it was Halloween and I was flying out of Louisville...(I think)....It's hard to get a flight out of Louisville to Bham late in the day. So anyway..I maneuvered some things around and had a layover in Memphis...I was going to be cutting things close on getting home. I was going to a party..I was a pimp...My "employees" were counting on me to be there. I decided to dress before the flight so that I wouldn't waste time getting to the party.

Naturally I got stuck in Memphis for several hours. It was fun though. People laughed at me the whole way home.

I used to fly a good bit for work, too (in my pre-chocolate days). On one flight back from Denver I was really hung over from entertaining some guys from a certain really large computer company. Shortly after takeoff, I've got my head down on my tray table and am trying desperately not to be sick. I keep hearing stuff hit the tray table next to me. I look over and the girl next to me has emptied out her purse and is frantically searching through the contents. She looks at me and asks, "Can I write you a check?" I say, "For what?". "Well, I'm scared of flying and need a drink, but I don't have any cash." I notice that among purse contents are some Immodium tablets. I tell her, "I'll buy you a drink for two of those." Anyway, long story short, we make the trade (for two drinks, in fact). I end up feeling a tiny bit better, but she keeps talking to me the whole way back to Nashville, even when I appear to be close to using the barf bag. "Wow, you must feel really bad? Have you ever seen so and so movie? Have you ever been to so and so town? Flying is scary, huh? You sure you don't want me to write you a check?" Man, it was pure misery.

Norm, I used to travel to LAX every once in a while. I would always be on the lookout for celebrities, but the only one I ever saw was Loretta Swit. I don't think she could play anyone with a nickname similar to "Hot Lips" anymore.

Here's my travel brush with fame that is related to AU football. On the way to NO for the Sugar Bowl after the 04 season, Rece Davis and Mark May were on my flight. Mark talked to some people, but Rece slept the whole time.

One of our ski trips. Stupid forgot to check the tickets and thought our flight was an hour later than it really was. Instead of ATL-Vancouver nonstop, we flew to DFW where we missed the connection because the ATL>DFW flight was late, so they stuck us on a flight to Salt Lake City from whence we got a flight to our final destination. It was our first time to Whistler. Instead of driving up from Vancouver in the early afternoon, we were driving up there in the pitch black night on snow roads, arriving around midnight. The following weekend on the drive back, I realized why I never saw any lights on my left on the way up. It was a steep drop into the sound.

I don't know about you upstanding people, but I find it right annoying that some of the people I know and am connected with on FB feel the need to post virtually every minute detail about what they're doing. I often think I'll follow suit just to make a point. Some potential examples:Norm: just took a crap.Norm: just farted.

On the flight back it was supposed to be Portland to DC to Charlotte to Chattanooga due to cost cutting that was the cheapest trip.

We get to DC on the way back and our 2 PM flight to Charlotte is cancelled. There is a blizard that's going to hit DC that night, so we needed to get south. There were 4 of us and the two ladies who were with us were in a panic thinking we'd be stuck.

There were no other flights to Charlotte that we could get on so I check the board for anything close to Chattanooga and there is a flight to Huntsville at 3:30. So after some negotiation I get us on that flight.

We get to Huntsville and their last flight of the day to Chattanooga is cancelled. However I'm ok, because we are two hours from home. One of the ladies we were flying with suddenly starts negotiating to fly from Huntsville to either Memphis or Cincinnatti because they have tons of flights to Chattanooga from there. WHAT?? Nobody else thought that was a good idea, so what does this 30 year old adult do? She sits down in the middle of the airport and starts crying. We are two hours from home, how is it logical to fly 5 or 6 hours away from home, then fly back home? As I just walk away from the scene I notice that the whole time she's making a scene, her butt crack is just out there for everyone to see.

Well we end up getting a van shuttle trip from Huntsville to Chattanooga and get home around 10 PM. However that was one fun trip back.

Of course, that's where they took the characters from. I was a little kid when Laugh In was on, so I pretty much just waited for Ruth Buzzi to hit Arte with her purse. I'm sure I didn't usually know why she was doing it, but I still thought it was pretty funny.

THT ..I've done the Vancouver to Whistler drive. We did it in a pickup with a camper shell. Those windy, icy road snaking around the Fiords with 500-1000' vertical drops were intimidating. Bet you drove back slower during the day than at night after realizing the danger.

I ate TCBY's at the ATL airport with Terry Bradshaw on Sunday Nite. It was after his show ended. He was headed to La ...I was headed to NY. He's a Regular dude.

I had a drink with Jay Leno. He was gathering data to do a special on Philadelphia. A couple of us ran into him on South St., walked a couple of blocks with him and took him into our fav Irish Bar and bought him a drink. He was kinda scattered.

Skied a run with Gloria Estaban, her hubby and kid at Crested Butte. He was funny, she seemd nervous about being recognized. Kid was great.

Hmmm, doesn't look like it's happening. The absence of Michael and Harrison definitely tend to slow things down during puppet hour. I wonder if Harrison's mom was okay when Michael popped up out of a suitcase once they got to Hawaii?

I ran into Charles Barkley in the Super Foods on Vaughn Road in the gump about 10 years ago. Have no idea what he was doing in MGM. Ran into Joe Cribbs at the Burger King on the Southern Bypass in the late 80s. Finally, stood right next to Joe Paterno at some downtown KC hotel. He was gripping about his bill, and looked the same then as he does now.

I know I've told this on here before, but now I feel compelled to mention the time that Bo Jackson got his groceries mixed up with mine at the A&P. Also, we've made chocolates for Peter Frampton and Ruben Studdard. We made the ones for Ruben right after he won American Idol, and I subsequently got invited to his Christmas party. I was the only white guy there besides one of the bartenders. By the end of the night, my nickname was "White Chocolate".

Forgive the tirade, but I need to blow off some steam. I'm driving home from work when a car pulls out in front of me. No other car behind me, but they have to pull out in front of me. All the time I'm thinking where is a cop when you need one? In my rearview mirror, I see blue flashing lights, so I pull over to let him pass, but he pulls in behind me! Young cop walks up to my car and starts lecturing me about the safe distance behind a car, and I tell him he apparently didn't see that car pull out in front me. No he didn't see that car pull out in front of my truck. He then goes back to his car to check to see if I'm a wanted felon, because I'm 51 with red hair. I'm sure I looked dangerous!!! When he comes back to my truck, he tells me that he was going to write me a warning ticket, but he saw how I was an Auburn fan (license tag) so he figured my year had been bad enough. EXCUSE ME..........I told him I could tell he was an arrogant Alabama fan and I wish he would write me a ticket so I could tell the Mayor, Chief of Police, etc just what kind of cops he has patrolling our streets and harassing the citizens. What a waste of taxpayer money. Why is it that Alabama fans are so concerned about us Auburn fans? Why can't they just enjoy their season and quit worrying about us. AUBURN is now and will always be fine!!!

I saw Charles Barkley at my school several times when I was in High School at Emma Sansom. He was close to one of the teachers (Watkins) that was some sort of Auburn booster. He used to come by and see her occasionally.

I also ran into him at Best Buy off of 280 in bammerham a little less than a year ago. He was very nice to everyone that spoke to him.

I met Steve McQueen and Sterling Moss at Sebring back in the 60s. THT, thanks for everything you did in getting the HABOTN section organized at the Outback Bowl as well as for the procuring of and distribution of the ducats to the game. My sons and I are so looking forward to this trip. 2.0, if you are still lurking, I think having the opportunity to met and talk with you in person will be one of the highlights of the trip, right up there with an Auburn win. WAR EAGLE everybody.

IV, you win. Steve McQueen is probably the coolest man of all time. As a auto and motorcycle racing junkie he is definitely one of my heroes. And meeting Stirling Moss would have been pretty cool too.

I read an interview recently with the stunt guy who did the fence jump in the great escape and part of the chase scene in Bullit. He said Steve was pissed he didn't get to do those scenes, the director didn't tell Steve he wasn't doing them until they were already done.
